Summary

Tim Alberta, the chief political correspondent at Politico and author of American Carnage, joins Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery." The group discuss the internal conflict within both the Democratic party as well as the Republican party. The far left progressives feel that they deserve more having helped get Biden elected and are unsatisfied with how the President-elect's cabinet selection is going. And how will thing play out on the right? Will Trumpism carry on? Or will someone emerge to bring things back to towards the Reagan-era?
